Is the new lateral promotion from SPC to CPL automatic or would the SM have to wait for a 4187 to be approved?

I wasn't tracking that from what I have read. I better look at my info again, although Reserves have a minute before it takes effect for us

As I have stated several time and will continue to believe, the Army made a great mistake when they got rid of the SPC ranks. Not everyone is a leader, and not everyone can be made a leader. There are those who are very proficient at their MOS but they are not leaders. There needs to remain a way for these soldiers to move up not out. Once the Army again realizes this fact, things will be much better off.
